but the fact is climate change has been an administration priority

Not debating that the attempts are valid, see quite a few of them here. Just wish the conversation would move away from it ‘cause it’s a futile fight.

Temperature climatology = running average of surface temperature (usually smoothed/averaged by month or season), so NASA’s definition is another way of saying the same thing. Unless you’re harping on the due to greenhouse gasses part... And that conclusion is still based on the slope of the trend and deviations from…

It’s called global warming cause the trend line for global temperature slopes upward. This confuses people cause climate is sinusoidal by season and so goes up and down, but the squiggles are on an upward trending diagonal.

The biggest issue I have with 1) is that while maybe valid, it’s kind of a useless argument. Whether it should or shouldn’t exist, it does exist and is a somewhat stable democracy with a couple of million people, some of whom have now been there for generations. Kicking them out and making them immigrate to ??? is not…

That’s my point; he needs the supporters to disincentivize the Republicans from impeaching him so that he can keep the gravy train going. I agree with you that there’s an itsy bitsy probability of him actually implementing an effective immigration ban, but I think he can make a great big show of building a (grift…

I don’t think we disagree. If the contractors on the wall give him a 75% kickback, we’ll get the wall - or the start of construction on a never to be completed wall - ‘cause Trump is short sighted as all out.

Yeah, but only ‘cause she won minorities by large margins and they make up a larger percentange of millennials so this isn’t really something millennials can pat themselves on the back for unless they’re in one of those demographics. This is gonna get circular, but basically you’re right but I think the reason for why…

Soonoon as he finds the right contractor to line his pockets on the build, he’ll be all about this wall again.

Mellenials only broke for Clinton ‘cause there are a lot of non-white people in that bracket. White mellenials suck almost as much as their elders considering that Trump won them by slim margins ‘cause like %6 went for 3rd parties.

She was talking about Louisiana(LA).

And that polling (and apparently low turnout) indicates that the majority of people who voted for her did so ‘cause they wanted to. If hold your nose worked to motivate dems, she could have maybe gotten even more votes.

Trevor tends to be at his best when he gets to really pull on his South African identity, so I think he has the potential to be sadly amazing the next however many years if given the chance. (And I so miss The Nightly Show ‘cause for all it’s flaws, it’d tended to be pretty good at intersectionality).

My brain is having a difficult time wrapping itself around luxery bodega with seamless delivery, even though many of the ones in my neighborhood have gentrified to borderline unrecognizable.

Pretty sure the first amendment says that the gov’t can’t discriminate based on views, and this would very clearly be the gov’t discriminating cause of views.

Not fond of the BDS movement at my school ‘cause we have a relatively large population of orthodox Jewish students, so the Doctoral Student Council decided that the vote for BDS should be at like 4:30 on a Friday in winter. So that was sketchy and caused an uproar...also, this was CUNY and so one of the things that…

What’s worked for me is a lot of what Trevor Noah did in his interview with Tomy Laheren. Namely, a lot of very patient no shouty questioning of where they’re coming from, what are their ideas, how would it be implemented, etc... Go long enough and decent people can usually recognize (even if they won’t admit) when…

One of the arguments for calling for a veto is that it’s gonna be a waste of Republican tax payer money to fight this as it winds its way through the court system. Going by their most recent 5-3 decision, the Supreme Court would likely strike this down.

Where can we find our Haymitch to explain to the Democrats that the show matters when it comes to changing people’s opinions?

Trump relies on cheap Chinese labor, so I don’t get the endgame there.
